lemon peel of 5 or 6 lemons

olive oil

a clean container

Leave the lemon peel to dry for about 3 days, and when it is dry, put it in a clean container. Then add the olive oil so it can cover all the lemon peels. The peels mustn’t be out of the olive oil , because there is a risk that the product will get ruined.

Close the container with a lid and cover it in aluminum foil and put it in a cabinet in your kitchen ( in a dark and dry place), far away from direct sunlight.

The container should stand like that for 30 to 40 days, but it is important to shake it at least once daily, so the lemon can release its natural essential oil. I kept it just for 40 days.

Once you pass the time of resting, strain the liquid and put it back in your cabinet to rest for another day.

The next day, strain it again with a gauze and put the resulting oil in a dark bottle, if you don’t have one, then put it in another clean jar, but wrap it nicely with aluminum foil, because the lemon is sensitive to sunlight. The resulting oil has an amazing natural smell and can be very useful for a lot of things such as:
